caskival

yaletown brewpub's cask festival was good times
so many good beers
so many fun people to drink with

my favourite beer of the afternoon?
pretty hard to choose as there were so many good ones
but since you're making me choose, i'll go with the central city collaboration cask with gigantic, parallel 49 and ninkasi
imperial ipa - some matured in cognac barrels, some matured in bourbon barrels, then blended and dry-hopped
so very, very, very, very delicious
(see how i did that four verys there?)

About Me

i didn't always love beer - there was a time in the distant past where i just didn't have a taste for it. fortunately my taste buds changed and my love affair with beer began. slowly at first, eventually blowing itself up into my current obsession with all things beer. i enjoy drinking beer, but i also enjoy reading about beer, talking about beer, thinking about beer and one day soon will actually brew something worth bragging about. my overwhelming beer obsession is hops - love them, can't get enough of them, grow them! you can hear me wax poetic about beer every second tuesday at 5:50 p.m. on cbc radio one's on the coast with stephen quinn (88.1 fm in vancouver and 690 am).
